Omaha, Neb., January 30, 2014

Union Pacific Railroad improved its public safety incident rate in 2013, demonstrating progress in enhancing safety for employees, customers and communities. The company's 2013 public safety incident rate was 2.22, a 7 percent improvement over the 2012 rate of 2.38.

Union Pacific's Council Bluffs Service Unit achieved a 7 percent improvement in 2013 compared to 2012 with a public safety incident rate of 1.57. The Council Bluffs Service Unit has more than 1,300 employees and is made up of nearly 640 miles of track in eastern Nebraska and across Iowa, with an additional rail line in northwestern Iowa.

Railroad public safety incident rates measure the total number of Federal Railroad Administration reportable crossing accidents per million train miles.

"Improvements in public safety lead to safer operations for employees and communities, and greater reliability for our customers," said Bob Grimaila, vice president of Safety, Security and Environment at Union Pacific. "Though our public safety metric improved in 2013, the goal is always zero incidents, and by engaging employees and communities in railroad safety efforts, we move closer to this goal."
